An interactive workbook for the aspiring artist — best for ages 30 to 99+.

It may look like a sketchbook, but it's so much more than that. Art teacher Lauren Horn guides you through her art class in this workbook-style sketchbook, complete with QR codes printed on each page that lead to the corresponding video instruction.

Now you can have the same success as her students, at your own pace and with minimal supplies. All you need is the book, a #2 pencil, and a device to scan the embedded codes.

  • Designed for beginners — lessons are scaffolded from basic lines to fully realistic drawings
  • QR code on every page links to step-by-step video instruction
  • Perfect for homeschool, self-study, or gifting to a budding artist
  • Real before-and-after student results that feel like magic

Lauren is on a mission to prove that drawing is a skill, not a talent lucky people are born with. All you need is the passion to learn, to trust the process, and the willingness to outsmart your own brain.
